שאלה. וששאלתם לפרנסה שמין באב היכא דאמידני' דיהיב טפי מעישור נכסים אי יהבי' טפי או לא פסק ר"ת ור"י דטפי מעישור נכסי לא ואין להאריך בראיותיהם כי אין פנאי גם ר"ח כ' וז"ל הואיל וכך אין להוציא מן היתומי' אלא בראי' ברורה.
Q. We are to be guided by the disposition of the deceased father as to the amount for which the heirs are to be assessed for a daughter's outfit (Ket. 68a). If upon considering the father's disposition we are convinced that he would have given his daughter more than one tenth of his estate, are we to assess the heirs for more than one tenth of the estate? A. We cannot assess the heirs for an amount greater than one-tenth of the estate, unless we have irrefutable proof that the father would have given more to his daughter. SOURCES: Am II, 75.
